Today, official details were released to the press regarding layoffs at THQ's Volition QA department. According to the press release, the layoffs were part of a previously announced realignment plan and the layoffs in question affect the Champaign QA facility, which will also result in the facility's eventual closure. The press release notes that no layoffs will occur within the Volition core development teams, but they include 47 temporary employees and 39 full-time employees.

All the laid off employees will of course be given their sixty day notice and the press release also reminds us that THQ will attempt to help the laid off employees find work elsewhere in the videogame community.
